DESCRIPTION The prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men. At early stage, the growth of prostate cancer is androgen-dependent and castration has been a very effective method in treating prostate cancer. Development of androgen-independent growth of prostate cancer after approximately 18 months of hormone ablation therapy is a major clinical dilemma. Goal of this study is to investigate the molecular mechanisms of CKI p21/Cip1/Waf1 in androgen-dependent and -independent growth of prostate carcinoma cells. This study is based on our observations that p21/Cip1/Waf1 gene was up-regulated by androgen and an increased basal expression of the gene was found in an androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line. This proposal will investigate the anti-apoptosis function of p21/Cip1/Waf1 gene in prostate carcinoma cells, which may confer the homeostasis of the cells in androgen-dependent manner and development of androgen-independent growth of pro-static cancer cell by increased basal expression of the gene. The molecular mechanism of androgen action on p21/Cip1/Waf1 gene expression will be elucidated. In addition, an in vivo androgen-independent prostate cancer model will be established for future therapeutic studies. Finally, the expression of the p21/Cip1/Waf1 gene in androgen-dependent and -independent prostate cancer specimens will be evaluated. If indeed an increased basal level of p21/Cip1/Waf1 gene in androgen-independent prostate cancer specimens was observed, it can be served as a clinical marker for developing androgen-dependent growth of prostate cancer.

描述 前列腺癌是男性癌症死亡的第二大原因。 在早期，前列腺癌的生长依赖于雄激素， cast割是治疗前列腺癌的一种非常有效的方法。 前列腺癌的雄激素非依赖性生长的发展 大约18个月的激素消融疗法是主要的临床 困境。这项研究的目标是研究分子机制 cki p21/cip1/waf1在雄激素依赖性和非依赖性的生长中 前列腺癌细胞。这项研究是基于我们的观察结果 p21/cip1/waf1基因被雄激素上调，基础增加了 在非雄激素独立的前列腺中发现该基因的表达 癌细胞系。该建议将研究抗凋亡 p21/cip1/waf1基因在前列腺癌细胞中的功能，这可能 以雄激素依赖性方式赋予细胞的稳态， 促静态癌细胞的雄激素非依赖性生长 基因的基础表达增加。分子机制 将阐明雄激素对p21/cip1/waf1基因表达的作用。在 此外，体内雄激素独立的前列腺癌模型将是 建立供未来的治疗研究。最后，表达 p21/cip1/waf1基因依赖于雄激素的前列腺 将评估癌症标本。如果确实增加了基础水平 p21/cip1/waf1基因在雄激素非依赖性前列腺癌标本中 被观察到，可以用作发展的临床标记 前列腺癌的雄激素依赖性生长。
